This option would circumvent the "will this require too much memory / time" mechanism in scryptenc and just assume that the user knows what they're doing. Probably worth adding the same option to scrypt too...

Err, that sounds like you want to brute-force things. Maybe for those dangerous ASICs. ;)

How about --passphrase-mem-force instead?

ah, I didn't notice the "/ time" part, since I was thinking of the mailing list thread. How about passphrase-resources-force, then?

--passphrase-resources-force seems a bit verbose. And "force" is pretty typical UNIXese for "do what I told you to do even if you think it's a bad idea".
